Student accessibility and usability barriers

Screen reader accessibility barriers may be difficult for people with visual disabilities

Some fields announce invalid data

Some form elements, like check boxes and radio buttons, may announce invalid data before a selection has been made.

When a user submits their application while navigating via screen reader, their focus is not immediately placed within the text on the submission confirmation page, which means it may not be immediately apparent that their submission was successful.
